The UK government says the country has 1,000 days to prepare for war. That's 1,000 days to invest in diplomacy, conflict prevention, and de-escalation. Why is the government talking about war readiness as though war itself is inevitable? www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

The effectiveness of propaganda demonstrates one of the chief characteristics of modern masses. What convinces masses are not facts, and not even invented facts, but only the consistency of the system of which they are presumably part. — Hannah Arendt

Israel regards any kite flown in Gaza as an "act of war" and has ordered the army to treat them like drones. "I don't know what we can do that won't anger Israel," says Muhammad Owais, 13, who struggles to understand the rules of this new reality. mondoweiss.net/2026/08/chil...

The United States is taking aim at Canada once again, with a crushing new set of tariffs. Ultimately, government will need to solve this. But in the same way Canadians are avoiding US alcohol, produce, and other goods, they should get off US tech products too. Luckily, I have a guide for that.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies. For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Tech billionaires would rather get rid of democracy than admit their fascist project is a bad idea. This week @gilduran.com joins @parismarx.com to discuss how tech billionaires are upending the political system to serve their own ends. Full ep: techwontsave.us/episode/342_...

#OTD 16 Aug 1979 The Basque national side played a League of Ireland XI in Bilbao, just years after Franco’s death and in the middle of heightened ETA activity. In my book, ‘Shades of Green: A Journey into Irish Football’, @beinatguti.bsky.social explains the importance of that fixture.

The villain in every horror movie should be the UK press. There is no entity scarier than that

In the 2010s, we were told new tech would revolutionize transportation. As BMW faces backlash for sticking a Spider-Man ad on its center console, we can see what it really amounted to: cars that collect vast quantities of data on us and which automakers are desperate to use to push ads on us too.

After thumping the USMNT 4-1, Belgium players take the piss out of Trump during their locker room celebrations, singing "YMCA" & mocking the so-called Trump dance. Soccer is politics by other means, no doubt about it.
